Pros

The world is your oyster if you are willing to work for it. There are many divisions, different companies and thousands of roles that can become options for the right employee.

Cons

Culture is a problem, and it is a problem that isn't being addressed. The company has an employee turnover problem and as long as the company is growing, it isn't taking the problem seriously. The culture is most aptly described as 'old-style Japanese management versus the modern worker.'

Pros

Rakuten Rewards has great life balance. Too bad the economy was getting rocked.

Cons

Don't really have any cons. I understand that the market's been hard so had to downsize the force, so that was kinda challenging. Hopefully AI will increase everyone's output.
